Best regards,-a-I wouldn't buy the theory on TCM cams not rusting. We've seen just as many in gold engines as grey engines. The primary advantage with a TCM is that you can pull the lifters without splitting the case.
If caught in time the camshaft can be saved.Clarence. Dave, I was curious about your 66F.
Lycoming Engine Codes
That was the introduction year and only 3 were supposed to have been built. Then I noticed that your ser # 660004 was supposed to be a Mustang per:Got a story there?Yeah, the Mooney Events guy is wrong. He didn't do much research, or it slipped his mind when he typed it up. The POH, service manual and parts catalogs (not to mention my airframe data plate) all mention the 1966 F being serial numbers 660001 through 660004.
There where four '66 Fs built. The F built right after mine was 670000 and is a officially a '67.
Lycoming Engine Serial Number Lookup Model
QUOTE Quote:Can anyone tell me what the individual numbers for the model of an engine stand for? For example: Lycoming LO-360-A1H6LO = left-turning, horizontally opposed360 = 360 cubic inchesI have no idea what the A1H6 is for and it probably doesn't matter./ QUOTE L - left turningO - horizontally opposed360 ciA1H6 is the accessory package. Ie main block and cylinders for all 360s are the same, but the accessories (bolt ons) such as location of oil filter, 1 or 2 alternators, controlable pitch prop, or fixed, prop gov. And such.Other examplesc-172 spIO-360-L2AThe 'I' is for fuel injectedC-T206 was something like TIO-540-????T for the turbo. QUOTE Another resource is to go directly to the manufacturer's website for the model code number. For examplethat gets you a list of all of the meanings of the prefixes and suffixes./ QUOTE This link is broken, but I've seen this document in a maintenance shop and it's sorta interesting.
Like you said, it has a huge detailed rundown of the prefixes, numbers, codes, etc. Of all their engines If you run across one, you can look up the most obscure trivia about your engine and impress your friends (or they'll think you're a complete dork).
